Why are Labrador puppies the price they are?
The price of Labrador puppies can vary depending on several factors. Here are some reasons that may contribute to the price of Labrador puppies:
- As an Assured Breeder Scheme holder from the Kennel Club and a 5-star licensed animal breeder, we set the bar high for dog breeding standards. Our unwavering commitment to the ultimate health and well-being of our dogs and puppies is at the core of everything we do. We spare no expense in providing the love, care, and attention that our furry companions deserve, ensuring that they bring joy and happiness to their new families for years to come.
- Breeder Reputation and Quality: Reputable breeders like ourselves at Isaiki Labradors prioritise the health, temperament, and overall quality of our Labrador puppies. We invest significant time, effort, and resources into breeding healthy dogs with desirable traits.
- Health Testing and Vaccinations: As a responsible breeders we conduct full health tests on our breeding dogs to ensure they are free from genetic diseases common in Labradors. These tests are expensive, and the cost must be reflected in the price of the puppies. Additionally, our puppies are routinely vaccinated and dewormed before they are to go to their forever home, which adds to the overall cost.
- Pedigree and Bloodline: at Isaiki Labradors all our puppies are well-documented with pedigree certificates, champion bloodlines, or parents with show titles. These factors indicate a higher likelihood of certain desirable traits, such as conformational standards, intelligence, or working/show abilities.
- Participating in dog shows with Labradors offers numerous benefits to breeders, owners, and the breed itself. These events provide opportunities to showcase breed quality, evaluate conformation and temperament, enhance socialisation and training, network with other enthusiasts, and increase the market value of puppies. Including show fees in the price of a puppy reflects the breeder's commitment to breed improvement and justifies the investment made in producing show-worthy Labradors. Ultimately, dog shows contribute to the ongoing betterment and preservation of the Labrador breed.
- Breeder's Overhead Costs: Responsible breeders Isaiki Labradors incur various costs, including high quality food, veterinary care, health clearances, stud fees, and general upkeep for our breeding dogs and puppies. These costs are factored into the price of the puppies to ensure as a breeder we can continue to provide quality care.
It's worth noting that while price can be an indicator of quality, it is not the sole determinant. When purchasing a Labrador puppy, it's important to research and select a reputable breeder who prioritises the health and well-being of their dogs. Responsible breeders will provide proper socialisation, health guarantees, and support for the puppies and their new owners.
